portanto, RST, Semantic values, Brazilian/African Portuguese.Abstract
This work aims to investigate the use of the element ‘portanto” in the Brazilian and African varieties of Portuguese, identifying the semantic values of such element, based on the categories listed by Lopes, Pezatti and Novaes (2001). In addition, it proposes to analyze the rhetorical relations established by this term, based on the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/cadletrasuff.2017n55a497Downloads
